There are plenty of people on this board making calls. The market is going to go up, sideways or down, hence certain posters are going to look good no matter what happens. Now it is Softie's turn. Just as you should not confuse a bull market for brains, timing a crash should not immediately qualify one for genius status. Always be careful attaching guru status to someone after 3 months. Softie if you have a couple of years of good returns under your belt let's hear about them. Please outline your credentials for us so we can weigh your opinion accordingly. I did not condemn you when you were the minority opinion here, and we have been short many of the same stocks. Still, with all due respect, other than an ability to cut and paste I haven't noticed any special insight from your analysis, you seem closer to a Tokyo Joe hyptser than warren Buffet based on what I've seen. But hey, I could be wrong, and faced with evidence to the contrary I will gladly admit it. Just remember that hubris is a traders greatest weakness. I evaluate traders for a living, and trust me, 3 good months is meaningless.

Soft....there is money to be made on the longs....it's just a pickers market....and I'm playing the beaten downs.... I'll take my winners: WMUX +20% (+60% from last week - LT hold for me) ITRU +39% (LT hold for me) with my losers: ISLD -15% (waiting for another bounce) INSP -12% (LT hold for me) Good job on WCOM....not so much on LU, but I agree it will see 20 in a short period of time (3-6 months).... I am disappointed that you refuse to open up to the HOME thread....I suppose you have a lot to hide (don't we all).

OT, OT-- Softechie, While I would agree that the bottom line for being here is to make money, I would not choose to pursue this at the sacrifice of my humility and at the consternation and gross discomfort of others. Apparently, you disagree. Most here are too civilized and decorous to tell you what they really think (they also, understandably, do not wish to engage you on your level). Here's what I think: I think you are an inarticulate, arrogant, disingenuous little punk, and I think you are out of place here, not because you are long or short stocks, but because you continue to defy the spirit of the thread, which is generally one of civility and support. Regardless of your alleged stock calling acumen, you are a punk, and until you change your attitude (which seems unlikely given your history) you'll always be a punk. "Good luck". AJL
